The drug has been discovered. It kills bacteria. Does it kill mice? If not, how do people react to it? Stage 1, then stage 2, then stage 3 trials. If all goes well, it might be on the market in five years. Or maybe not. Then it will cost $100 a dose. I’m not holding my breath.
Sounds like an Aztec name.
